It is fake that Zhou Shuo said he was not attracted to Microsoft. Microsoft, Google, INTER, and IBM can be said to be the holy places in the fields of computers and the Internet. By 1995, Microsoft will launch the Windows 95 operating system, and what awaits it will be the dominant position of computer software that has lasted for decades, and even in the distant future, there will be no dawn of it falling.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and shouted in his heart: What a pity, my arrival is to end your history!

Zhou Shuo smiled and shook his head, looked at James and said, "I'm sorry I can't accept your invitation. My family and career are here."

When James heard this, he said in surprise, "Wow" and shook his head and said, "Maybe Mr. Zhou doesn't understand the strength of Microsoft yet? Our Microsoft is a very famous high-tech company in the United States. Now the MS-DOS operating system commonly used in personal computers is our product. Those who work in Microsoft are the most outstanding talents in the United States, and it is not difficult to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month..."

It is hard for James to imagine how a Chinese, a young man with a monthly income of less than US$47, would refuse to recruit an American company? It must be that he doesn't know what the name Microsoft means! He doesn't know that 47 US dollars can't afford a cup of coffee from a high-end restaurant in the United States! I don't know what he rejected! How did the Chinese say this situation? The ignorant are fearless.

As long as he knows how rare the opportunity before him is, he will agree. James is very convinced of this.

"No, no!" Zhou Shuo waved his hand to interrupt James' passionate statement, lowered his head slightly and organized the language, raised his head and said confidently: "I know the greatness of Microsoft, and I also know how honor it is to be a Microsoft employee. I even know that the new generation of window operating systems that Microsoft is developing will usher in a brand new computer era. But I still have to regretfully reject your invitation."

James stopped, looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Chou, can you tell me the reason for you?"

"Of course." Zhou Shuo said proudly: "Because China also needs a great company like Microsoft. I believe that my current career will create countless Chinese Bill Gates!"

James lowered his head and was indifferent for a while. When he raised his head again, he seemed to have changed his other person. His eyes were no longer sharp, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand and said, "Zhou, you are an ideal person. Although I am not optimistic about your career, I respect your choice."

Zhou Shuo also reached out and held it with James, and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. James for your understanding."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the enemy he was facing was the most powerful time. The Americans in the 1990s were really confident. Before they could appreciate the spirit of the Chinese chasing, who else could dominate their aura made them not afraid of any form of competition.

The Japanese once thought they could say "no" to the United States, so they ushered in a "lost decade". The boss's empire, the Soviet Union, also fell apart in front of the Americans. The Gulf War allowed the whole world to appreciate their ability to beat children. Who can become the next opponent of the United States?

In 1994, no American thought China could play this role well.

"You are in business! Since you can't get your people, Microsoft still hopes to get your software. I wonder how much do you want us to bid?" James said with his shoulders shrugged.

Zhou Shuo touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I think 100,000 US dollars is an ideal number."

"Oh! nonononono!" James waved his hand, shook his head into a rattle, and shouted in a stack of voices: "100,000 US dollars? I can hire a whole computer major in Tsinghua to write software for me!"

"Of course." Zhou Shuo said with his hands on his chest: "I can only charge you $1 for editing software."

James's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled in his heart and said that it was indeed the trick you Chinese used to ask for a lot of money to pay the money locally.

But Zhou Shuo continued, "But the creativity of this software is not expensive, I think it is not expensive, right?"

"Uh--" James almost couldn't breathe and fainted, thinking that I had never seen such an unkind Chinese. When did Chinese people also start to know how to sell creativity?

He said dejectedly: "Okay, I admit what you said makes sense. But 100,000 US dollars is too much. A software sells more than 800,000 yuan, which is unimaginable in China."

Yes, Yahoo comes from a creative idea, Apple comes from a creative idea, and HP also comes from a creative idea. How much are these creative ideas worth? Can you buy them in a million dollars? However, when you come to China, you will feel that even a hundred thousand dollars will be more. If you don’t have a strong motherland, even wisdom will not be sold for price.

Zhou Shuo spread his hands and said, "No, your statement does not respect market laws at all. The value of a thing does not depend on its cost, but on what it can do. Although Microsoft's new generation of window operating systems is an epoch-making product, unfortunately I believe it is also an immature product. If an operating system is technically immature, it will easily collapse. I believe that my software is the savior of this product."

James covered his face and said painfully: "Zhou, negotiating with you is really the most painful thing. In front of you, I will feel like a Grandet..."

The tug-of-war negotiation lasted for an hour. At this time, the Americans still had their cute side, and at least they were rich and generous. In the end, James happily signed the software transfer agreement and purchased the entire copyright of the GHOST software for 80,000 US dollars.

Twenty years later, the new Microsoft CEO of the 21st century reviewed the transaction and sighed: Although this transaction made Microsoft win dozens or even hundreds of times profits, it caused tens of millions of times losses to the entire US semiconductor industry. Because it was from this 100,000 US dollars that the Chinese people gradually built their own Stanford University and Silicon Valley...

"I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with Mr. Zhou in the future." James said, holding Zhou Shuo's hand.

"There will definitely be something." Zhou Shuo stood at the door of the teaching building, holding James's hand and said.

"Old Liu!" Zhou Shuo-Jiang, who was following James, called out, and held his hand and said, "Old classmate, don't leave at night, let's go to have a drink together!"

Liu Gang smiled and punched him in the shoulder, and said excitedly: "Okay, I still remember me when I get rich! Don't worry, I will come to eat you, the rich man!"

When Zhou Shuo returned to the office of the Academic Director, Director He looked at him incorrectly. In 1994, the salary of ordinary people was only four or five hundred yuan. Although Director He was the director of the Education Bureau and a department-level cadre, his monthly salary was not 1,000 yuan! In which month, he could earn a huge sum of RMB 680,000? He looked at Zhou Shuo enviously and said, "I didn't expect that there was a talent like Teacher Zhou in our second high school!"

Zhou Shuo quickly said modestly: "Director He has over-rewarded, and I am just luck."

"Yeah? That's not!" Director He said seriously: "Even if others think of your creativity, he can't do this business!"

Director He took Zhou Shuo's hand, pressed him onto the chair, and took two steps and said excitedly: "I saw it clearly right beside me just now. You are not simple, not only have ideals, ability, but also confidence and courage! You dare to use your software to discuss business with foreigners, which is confidence; you dare to make a decision and strive to sell the software for a high price of 80,000 US dollars, which is courage! You are not a talent, who is a talent?"

Director He was so excited that he circled around the ground several times, and asked determinedly: "Xiao Zhou, being a teacher seems to be a wronged. Do you want to develop upward again?"

"Up?" Zhou Shuo said.

Director He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then nodded fiercely. It can be seen that it was not easy for him to make this decision.

"Yes, I have a principal here. Do you want to do it?"

"Principal?" Zhou Shuo said in surprise.

When can temporary workers who have just left school become principals? Is it easy to be a principal? Without decades of teaching experience, long-term training in various positions in the school, and deep understanding of education, should we be a principal who takes a room for elementary school students?

He waved his hand and said, "No, no, Director He values ​​me too much. I can't do this."

Director He sat down, sucked cigarette one by one, and quickly sucked all of the cigarette. He pinched the cigarette butt into the ashtray, waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to refuse, listen to me finish my words. I think you have heard of this school, it's the first vocational high school I wanted to transfer you to before!"

"That's that!"

Zhou Shuo was indeed transferred to a vocational high school in his previous life. Although he didn't stay there for long and went to sea to make a living, he still had some understanding of the basic situation of the school.

The first vocational high school covers a very large area. In the past, the vocational high school has a popular education than the high school. It has earlier work and more years of work. Many students who study well and have low family conditions will consider going to vocational high school. At most, there were more than 3,000 people and more than ten majors. However, by 1994, the first vocational high school had completely declined. There were less than 400 students in school, with only machine tools, auto repairs and electrical appliances. The income was not high, and there were many retired teachers and many people who were idle. The benefits were extremely poor, which was a big burden for the Municipal Education Bureau.

What's more, last month, a vocational high school had just had a major accident, and there was almost nothing that Quanxiucheng didn't know about it. Among the students who were dining in the school cafeteria at noon, more than 30 people were inexplicably poisoned by food. Fortunately, they were sent to the hospital in time, so no one was killed. After the incident, the entire vocational high school went from the principal to the vice principal and the logistics department head to the canteen contractor. The chef and the worker on that day were still squatting in the public security bureau.
